It's interesting. According to the Investor's Business Daily poll (which is non-partisan), Trump was consistently ahead by 2 points for the last while. The IBD poll has been near spot-on accurate in predicting the last 3 presidential elections--not nearly as accurate as the mainstream media polls.

Interesting, I haven't seen this poll.

I'm following the NYT staff chat, where they're talking as if Clinton has lost already...

I believe that there are other possible routes to the White House without taking those states.

Nah, she can still win. California is guaranteed Clinton and is 55 points. They haven't closed their voting out yet.

True, but Wisconsin and Michigan are favoring Trump, and she isn't doing too well without those states.

She can still win, but they're doing a post mortem on her campaign as if it failed already. (it did, in a way - trump should have never have gotten these numbers, even if she wins.)

Michigan is not guaranteed yet. There are 2 heavily Democratic districts (Detroit area) that still haven't reported and those can make a huge difference. It's less than a one percent difference now but that can change in a minute.

That's good to know.

Apparently Michigan hasn't voted Republican since Reagan. This election sure is weird...

She still can. He still can. Scariest of all, there is an actual legitimate possibility of a 269-269 tie.

So what happens if there actually is a tie? (Although it's pretty unlikely.)
